Assignment 12 - Due Monday, December 2, 2019.
- Read sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.5.1 and my notes on and
my notes on
example problems for distributions.
- Do the following problems.
- Section 3.5: 2(b)
- Section 4.1: 4, 7
- Section 4.2: 1, 3, 4
- Section 4.3: 3
- Let $F:C[0,1]\to C[0,1]$ be defined by $F[u](t) :=
\int_0^1(2+st+u(s)^2)^{-1}ds$, $0\le t\le 1$. Let $\| \cdot
\|:=\|\cdot \|_{C[0,1]}$. Let $B_r:=\{u\in C[0,1]\,|\, \|u\|\le
r\}$.
- Show that $F: B_1\to B_{1/2}\subset B_1$.
- Show that $F$ is Lipschitz continuous on $B_1$,
with Lipschitz constant $0<\alpha \le 1/2$.
- Show that $F$ has a fixed point in $B_1$.
- Let $Ku(x)=\int_0^1 k(x,y)u(y)dy$, where $k(x,y)$ is defined by $
k(x,y) = \left\{
\begin{array}{cl}
y, & 0 \le y \le x\le 1, \\
x, & x \le y \le 1.
\end{array}
\right.$
- Show that $0$ is not an eigenvalue of $K$.
- Show that $Ku(0)=0$ and $(Ku)'(1)=0$.
- Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of $K$. Explain why the
(normalized) eigenvectors of $K$ are a complete orthonormal basis for
$L^2[0,1]$.
- Let $Lu=-u''$, $u(0)=0$, $u'(1)=2u(1)$.
- Show that the Green's function
for this problem is
\[
G(x,y)=\left\{
\begin{array}{rl}
-(2y-1)x, & 0 \le x < y \le 1\\
-(2x-1)y, & 0 \le y< x \le 1.
\end{array} \right.
\]
- Let $Kf(x) := \int_0^1G(x,y)f(y)dy$. Show that $K$ is a self-adjoint
Hilbert-Schmidt operator, and that $0$ is not an eigenvalue of $K$.
- Use (b) and the spectral theory of compact operators to show the
orthonormal set of eigenfunctions for $L$ form a complete set in
$L^2[0,1]$.
